Biomass and essential oil production of basil at recirculation intervals of nutrient solutions prepared with treated domestic effluents

Considering the growing water crisis, using wastewater helps reduce pressure on good-quality consumption. In this context, study aimed to evaluate growth, production, and essential oil content of Alfavaca Basilicão Grecco a Palla basil genotypes with DFT (deep flow technique) hydroponic system adapted PVC tubes at different recirculation intervals nutrient solutions prepared treated domestic effluents. The experiment was performed in greenhouse analyzed individually. It completely randomized design four replicates 2 x 3 factorial scheme: two types (public-supply wastewater) three (2, 4, 6 hours). At 35 days after transplanting, evaluated plant height, stem diameter, shoot fresh mass, dry consumption, use efficiency, yield. did not significantly influence variables genotypes. Basil cultivation is technically feasible effluents every hours for genotypes, respectively. means were 1.6 1.7% (v/m)
